week 13 question 3

The concept I found interesting was the Feedback concept. "Feedback is information that helps individuals to control and adjust their behaviors. It is also information that tells people how they are doing and what they may need to change to be more effective." (pg 167) As the youth director at my church we had a big meeting to discuss our services and talk about the teachers. Now I have never received any feedback from the kids themselves, but from the adults, I got a lot of positive feedback. During the meeting, the kids slowly started to give their own feedback and their opinions on what was good as a teacher and what was bad and can improve on. It was hard to take in at first because of course we all want to hear only positive feedback, but coming from the kids that I teach every Sunday I was learning that not all feedback has to be good. Feedback is meant for us to learn from and improve on what is bad and make them good for the better of others and yourself. It's hard for us to learn the bad stuff because we tend to think that we are perfect and not need any help but that meeting helped me realize that others have great intentions for you, even though you are older.
